It used to be that you could post your item on eBay pay small fees and sell your item without barely a question. Today if you are a regular person selling on eBay you have to treat it like a business. Why? Simply because a large cross-section of buyers on eBay, buy in a hostile manner and do so like they are buying from a business not a individual. It starts with 20 questions on the details on the cheap item you are selling from color, how it is to be used, how quickly it will be shipped. Somehow you are assumed to be a business owner when you are posting, maybe thats because there are so many businesses selling on eBay. 그것을 사용하여 해당 항목을 게시할 수있는됩니다 ebay 작은 수수료를 지불하고 겨우 판매할 항목의 질문을하지 않고있습니다. 오늘은 정기적으로 사람을 판매하는 경우에는 ebay에서 사업처럼 그것을 치료해야합니다. 이유가 무엇입니까? 단순히 크기가 큰 교차하기 때문에 - 섹션의 구매자에 대한 ebay, 적대적인 방식으로 구입하고 이렇게 그들이 구입하는 등 개인의 비즈니스가 아닙니다. 그것이 시작과 함께 20 개의 질문에 싼 항목에 대한 세부 사항에서 판매하는 경우 색상을 사용하도록하는 방법이다 , 얼마나 신속 배송됩니다. 끄는 비즈니스 소유자로 간주됩니다 게시하는 경우, 어쩌면 thats ebay 있기 때문에 이렇게 많은 기업에 대한 판매합니다. Most people’s experience is one of consumer to non-caring and non-personal business. By proxy of Joe’s warehouse selling an item and not shipping it for a month, you because you answer your emails and phone calls, become a target for the high maintenance buyer. Afterwards you become a customer service person. How does this item work? Can you send me a driver download? I wasn’t expecting a scratch there? This isn’t exactly what I expected. All of this is fine except for the fact that you sold your item (as is) online to recover extra cash. All the while you were charged exorbitant fees by both eBay and Paypal for your trouble and transaction. Your time to package and ship the item also factors into the amount of cost to rid yourself of the offending object. It seems buyer beware has been forgotten, replaced with a easy way to hassle you into helping. If you balk at the repeated and rude emails you are likely to loose some of your feedback. This of course is the ultimate weapon. Regular scammers flip eBay accounts like Pancakes at the House of Pancakes but for you your feedback is like your credit. The hostile buyer would just a soon leave bad feedback as send a email. 대부분의 사람의 경험 중 하나입니다 소비자가 비 - 돌보는 그리고 비 - 개인 사업입니다. 의해 프록시의 조의 창고로 항목을 판매하고 그것에 대한 배송되지 않습니다 달, 귀하의 답변이 없기 때문에 이메일 및 전화 통화, 회원가 대상 구매자에 대한 높은 유지 보수합니다. 이후 고객 서비스를 직접 될 수있습니다.이 항목은 어떻게 작동합니까? 드라이버를 다운로드 보내 주실 수 있습니까? 내가 예상되지 않았다 스크래치 있습니까?이 아니라 정확히 어떤 것으로 예상합니까. 모든 이것이 벌금을 제외하고는 사실을 판매하면 귀하의 항목 (예 :가)를 온라인으로 여분의 현금을 복구합니다. 모든 청구된 상태에서 엄청난 ebay와 paypal 모두에 의해 수수료 및 거래에 대한 문제가있습니다. 귀하의 시간을 패키지 및 배송은 항목도 요인으로 의 양을 자신의 비용을 일으키는 개체를 제거합니다. 보인다주의합시다 구매자는 잊혀진,로 교체하는 불편을 쉽게 돕기로하면됩니다. balk 경우에 이메일을가 능성이 느슨한 답습을 반복하고 귀하의 의견 중 일부입니다. 물론 이것은 궁극적인 무기입니다. 정기적인 사기꾼 플립 하우스의 고등학교에서 고등학교와 같은 ebay 계정하지만 귀하를 위해 귀하의 의견은 귀하의 신용처럼.이 적대적 구매자는 나쁜 의견을 남길 한 빨리 이메일을 보내십시오.
It seems that eBay is no longer the online garage sale that had made it so popular. After all you wouldn’t have all these home business owners getting rich on eBay if it were a internet garage sale. The problem is, that was the attraction of it all. You easily post an item you no longer want and someone buys that item. It also used to be that everything was used on eBay not just one more e-commerce site. Now its the first stop for your new Nintendo Wii purchase. Why is this? Sure there’s deals to be found and used items that are inexpensive on eBay but lately a quick search of amazon will show you that the deal you thought was so great may not be a deal at all. So as a buyer you get ripped off and don’t get the service and support that comes from a reputable dealer. For instance if you buy your Nintendo Wii for $275 from BestBuy you at least have a multi million dollar corporation to go to when the Wii fails to work instead of Nintendoboy1984’s virtual shrug. It makes you wonder what people are thinking when they are making a purchase.
This brings us to Craigslist, a quick look at the Alexa rankings of Craigslist.org compared to eBay shows some strange activity over the last 5 years. Now I know that Alexa is constantly gamed and it not a accurate depiction of traffic but when you are dealing with such huge sites such as Craigslist and eBay the numbers get very hard to fudge. Basically it reads that Craigslist traffic is accelerating and eBay’s numbers are deflating. Why might this be? The easy answers are money and hassle.
I had the opportunity to sell on both eBay and Craigslist in the last week. The experience on Craigslist was one of quickly posting an item, someone nearby coming to get the item, and getting paid in cold hard cash without giving anyone one extra dime. The experience on eBay was post the item, wait several days, get asked a million questions as to where the item can be shipped to, can I end my auction early, and tons of details questions asked. The after purchase feeling was less bright also as you get to ship the item and then respond to impatient buyers wanting to know “where there item was” after one day. My feelings sunk yet again when I added up how much I actually made from all that trouble and how much Paypal and then eBay sucked out of the transaction.
At the end of the day I just cannot justify using a service such as eBay to post items unless I am actively running a business. This from former huge fan of eBay, it would be like me lamenting over a Apple product. The thing is if Apple products became a pain to deal with AND costly I would no longer be a fan of their product either. So eBay I bid Adieu to you, no more guilt of feedback and wasted money, Craigslist has won my heart with its simplicity and price (free). I have found that I can sell nearly anything worth selling on Craigslist and I can spend only a couple of minutes to do it. The best part is when I sell to someone buying off of Craigslist I am selling to a person looking to get a good deal and willing to take a chance but better yet I selling an item not a contract to devote my time.

I think you nailed it, specifically shipping. 내 생각 61-54있습니다 그것을 구체적으로 배송됩니다. I love selling, I’ll even pay the fee but I HATE SHIPPING especially to other countries. 내 사랑을 팔고, 나는 수수료를 지불하는 것입니다 그러나 나는 심지어 증오 해운 특히 다른 나라에있습니다. I won’t even ship to Mexico or Canada anymore. 나는조차하지 않습니다 배송 멕시코 또는 캐나다가 더 이상합니다. Its too much trouble. 너무 많은 문제가 발생했다.

Well, I am one of those businesses that used to sell on EBay. 글쎄, 나는 그 중 하나를 사용하여 판매하는 기업 ebay에있습니다. In fact my company started from selling a few items on EBayevery day. 내 회사에서 판매한 사실 몇 개의 항목에 ebayevery 하루를 시작합니다. Like others, however, EBay holds little appeal nowadays albeit for different reasons. 다른 사람처럼, 그러나 요즘 ebay으로나마에 대한 서로 다른 이유로 보류가 거의 호소합니다. Our analysis finds that unless you are a manufacturer, or have some incredible clearance or discounted source, you simply cannot make a recurring profit on EBay nowadays. 우리의 분석을 찾아 해당하지 않는 경우에는 제조 업체, 또는이 어떤 놀라운 재고 정리 또는 할인 소스,하기만하면 이익을 되풀이 할 수 없다는 요즘 ebay.
